So finally after getting everthing set up.................sort of. I had to crack a box and start getting styrene poisoning.......LOL. Up next On the plus side I have doubled thew size of the model room so its still kind of a work in progress. Some of my Hobby Zone desk organizer stuff was here today (supplier is now hobby world in New Hampshire) my stuff earlier I ordered from Poland has not yet arrived. Got some cool looking book cases that will double for display purposes. Any way the parts are drying after a good wash and will get to some building in a bit. Bob

Andy - all settled and still adding stuff to the man cave. Feels good after some months to get my hands in some styrene. Dave - my brother, your mind has not gone any more 'poof" than mine...........wait......that didn't sound right. So progress has been good, had a cmaera issue that finally resolved itself......still a bit perplexing but shes good now. most of the chassis, suspension work is completed and getting fiddlies mounted. engine is not bad but one problem with the kit being an older trump is that the part attachments to the sprue are way heavy and injector pin marks are deep so the engine will get covered up. I ordered some more Hobby Zone organizers. Great product and now you dont have to order from poland anymore and give them your youngest to pay for shipping. HobbyWorld-USA is a stocking dealer now and they are in New Hampshire. Two day shipping and its at your door. Have two corner pieces on the way and 111 slot paint rack for all my Vallejo paints. Should have some more shots up soon gents. Bob

Leon - thanks buddy. You have to check the website from the manufacturer and some of the setups (hobbyzone.pl). Insane model bench setups.
Deano - thanks buddy
Wbill - thank you bud. I agree, oranization is extreamly important. I figured the stuff i use constantly needs to be in front and ready. The toolbox helps and does have a ton of stuff in it but its items and tools used occaisionally.

Dupes - it was really bad. I didn't really look at it as I was focused on the cab assembly. I figured out what happened. When I had stored this on the shelve in the garage it was on the end and at ab out 11am to 5pm it was in direct sunlight all day, sat that way for months. I have about three other kits I have to look at, these may be trashed as well. Thankfully when we moved all my stash are on shelves in the back of the garage and there are no windows on the garage door.
Bill - huge bummer. Even the SA2 was so bad not even hot water would have fixed it.
Andy - Should have made my own but holy cow, work is just eating me alive. If I asked Ed I would not see it for about........................NEVER! lol

Aw damn Bob! That absolutely sucks. I was pretty throughly bummed when I read the news of the warpage. This started out so well. Might I recommend a Tamiya kit during the mourning period. Dave
